Here's what I'm running, generally happy with this
Front camber: -2.00 Rear camber: -2.50 Front caster: +6.00 (stock is 5.0) Front toe: 0.00 Rear toe: +0.10 I'm not the world's expert on all this but here are my thoughts... I have less front negative camber, but I get more front roll-induced camber because I set the caster +1 over stock to 6.0. I like the higher caster angle b/c it helps hold straight track with a neutral to slight toe-out setting. I may toe-out front a hair to get quicker turn-in response and scale back understeer, but it is pretty much fine now and appropriate considering stock bushings create some minor compliance and toe-out under acceleration. I have modest rear toe-in now and will probably have that dialed to neutral or slight toe out next time around... Some rear toe out would be appropriate to help balance out understeer tendancy and more if you like to hang it out... as you mention tire life is tradeoff on toe settings. |

The only thing I would worry about going toe out in the rear is bump steer. When under braking or going over bumps where weight is transfered off the rear, raising your suspension, your toe will go out even more and could cause some pretty hairy moments under braking.

I gave them the 2009 370z OEM factory settings that was posted on here as a baseline and told them to go more aggressive based on that... Granted I havent tracked the car since then but it still feels solid. You might have to get it done twice just to get it the way you want.

Thanks!
Alright, so alignment went well. Everything is working brilliantly. I left the car up a little bit so I can clear my speedbumps. We are doing a little bit of testing, went with -2 camber front and rear. and .05 toe in rear. We will see how that fares. |

Yup, never installed it. I was thinking about going to the underdriven ones. Next time the cars in the shop I might consider throwing it in...
From what I heard, not a huge difference, more difference with the underdriven ones. I may sell this one or trade with someone. |
